"The United States Navy will be ready to conduct prompt and sustained combat incident to operations at sea. Our Navy will protect America from attack and preserve America’s strategic influence in key regions of the world. U.S. naval forces and operations – from the sea floor to space, from deep water to the littorals, and in the information domain – will deter aggression and enable peaceful resolution of crises on terms acceptable to the United States and our allies and partners. If deterrence fails, the Navy will conduct decisive combat operations to defeat any enemy." - Chief of Naval Operations

In early 2016, the Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT) announced that the community's training arm had changed its name from Center for Information Dominance to Center for Information Warfare Training. This change was in response to the CNO's strategy. With headquarters at Naval Air Station Pensacola Corry Station, Florida, CIWT trains the IW community, composed of cryptologic technicians, information systems technicians, intelligence specialists, electronics technicians, cryptologic warfare officers, information professional officers, intelligence officers, and foreign area officers, at 18 locations in the continental United States, Hawaii, and Japan.
